G#m7             E       F# 
Can't you see he doesn't care 
           G#m7       E          F# 
He likes to play with you that's all 
                G#m7    E      F# 
He's waiting on someone else's call 
                D#m7  Bmaj7 E                         G#m7  F#  G#m7  F# 
He's playing it cool,       why's it so hard to reach you? 

G#m7              E   F# 
Why are you still out there 
             G#m7   E          F# 
Beating your heart against the wall 
            G#m7    E  F# 
Waiting for Jericho to fall 
                D#m7  Bmaj7 E                    G#m7 C#m7          B F# 
You hard-headed fool,      didn't your mama teach you anything at all? 

    B               D#m7      G#m7 
You can't treat the wrong man right 
            B           D#m7  Emaj7 
Or change a devil to an angel overnight 
      G#m7                     D#m7      Emaj7 
He'll wreck all your best laid plans for spite 
    C#m7                      B    F# 
You can't treat the wrong man right 
    B               D#m7      G#m7 
You can't treat the right man wrong 
            B          D#m7        Emaj7 
When you're out on the town, acting mean and head-strong 
      G#m7                  D#m7          Emaj7 
He'll sit home and wait for you all night long 
    C#m7                      B    G# F# E F#   G# F# E F# 
You can't treat the right man wrong 

I heard it on the telephone 
A woman was whispering in my ear 
And though I was trying not to hear 
The message came through, she was someone who knew you 

I guess she told me everything 
I wasn't listening anyway 
I know she had a lot to say 
But nothing was clear, I only remember her voice 
Above the sound of the pinball saying to me 

You can't treat the wrong man right 
Or change a devil to an angel overnight 
He'll steal all your love and and fly by night 
You can't treat the wrong man right 
You can't treat the right man wrong 
You can run all the way from here to Hong Kong 
And he'll be waiting when you come back in sight 
You can't treat the right man wrong 
You can't treat the wrong man right
